Make your nomination in the comments and a reader will pick the best eligible tracks for a playlist next week – you have until Monday 8 May

We are pursuing pleasure this week, and looking for your nominations on a theme close to many musicians’ hearts. For more, keep an eye on the comments.

You have until 11pm on Monday 8 May to post your nomination and make your justification. Regular RR contributor Scott Blair, who posts in the comments as misterbadexample, will select from your recommendations and produce a playlist to be published on 11 May.

Here is a list of all songs previously picked and therefore ineligible for the series.

If you want to volunteer to compile a playlist from readers’ suggestions – and potentially blog about the process/selection for the Guardian – please email matthew.holmes@theguardian.com with the subject line “RR guru”, or make yourself known in the comments.

Here’s a reminder of the guidelines for RR:

  • Tell us why it’s a worthy contender.
  • Quote lyrics if helpful, but for copyright reasons no more than a third of a song’s words. If sharing links, make sure there is appropriate copyright permission.
  • Listen to others people’s suggestions and add yours to a collaborative Spotify playlist.
  • If you have a good theme, or if you’d like to volunteer to compile a playlist from readers’ suggestions, please email matthew.holmes@theguardian.com
  • There’s a wealth of data on RR, including the songs that are “zedded”, at the Marconium. It also tells you the meaning of “zedded” (picked for a previous playlist so ineligible), “donds” and other strange words used by RR regulars.
  • Many RR regulars also congregate at the ’Spill blog.
